    yup thats a great animation project, it does what it says on the tin,dont agree with the people who slated it killing off native species etc..its not real life ;)

    Looks fantastic!
  • omar zubair 5 months ago
    it sure does; but seriously, even for a school project, do we really need to continue making heroic stories about the mindless extraction of natural resources and killing of native inhabitants?
  • Marília :D 5 months ago
    My thoughts exactly!
  • Shaun Pitz plus 4 months ago
    No native species were harmed in the making of this film, I promise. He could have been mining for a mineral that cures space cancer for all we know, the antagonist was then pushed off a cliff in self defense where he may not have died, due to the weak gravity of the planet, obviously.

    Great film Justin, we really enjoyed it. We might be just imagining it but have you guys deliberately referenced some of your favourite movies like ‘Star Wars’ and ‘Wall-E’? Anyway, love the film and we’ve shared it with our followers.
  • Justin Burks plus 5 months ago
    Thanks! It was more of a reference to Bill Waterson. We just had solutions to story and animation that were similar (Eve's eyes, Podracer scene) but these were more of a result from art direction rather than an initial cause. For more info watch this interview vimeo.com/27980619
